- Immediate health effects:Obese youth are more likely to have risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure. In a population-based sample of 5- to 17-year-olds, 70% of obese youth had at least one risk factor for cardiovascular disease.7Obese adolescents are more likely to have pre-diabetes, a condition in which blood glucose levels indicate a high risk for development of diabetes.8,9Children and adolescents who are obese are at greater risk for bone and joint problems, sleep apnea, and social and psychological problems such as stigmatization and poor self-esteem.5,6,10Long-term health effects:Children and adolescents who are obese are likely to be obese as adults11-14 and are therefore more at risk for adult health problems such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, several types of cancer, and osteoarthritis.6 One study showed that children who became obese as early as age 2 were more likely to be obese as adults.12Overweight and obesity are associated with increased risk for many types of cancer, including cancer of the breast, colon, endometrium, esophagus, kidney, pancreas, gall bladder, thyroid, ovary, cervix, and prostate, as well as multiple myeloma and Hodgkin’s lymphoma.Prevention Healthy lifestyle habits, including healthy eating and physical activity, can lower the risk of becoming obese and developing related diseases.6The dietary and physical activity behaviors of children and adolescents are influenced by many sectors of society, including families, communities, schools, child care settings, medical care providers, faith-based institutions, government agencies, the media, and the food and beverage industries and entertainment industries.Schools play a particularly critical role by establishing a safe and supportive environment with policies and practices that support healthy behaviors. Schools also provide opportunities for students to learn about and practice healthy eating and physical activity behaviors.References Ogden CL, Carroll MD, Curtin LR, Lamb MM, Flegal KM.

- Background statsIn 2010, the U.S. spent $2.6 trillion on health care, an average of $8,402 per person. The share of economic activity (gross domestic product, or GDP) devoted to health care has increased from 7.2% in 1970 to 17.9% in 2009 and 2010. Health care costs per capita have grown an average 2.4 percentage points faster than the GDP since 1970.
- http://www.afterschoolalliance.org/issue_briefs/issue_CrimeIB_27.pdfYouth need more support. The U.S. Conference of Mayors 10-Point Plan recommends fully funding 21st Century Community Learning Centers and other afterschool programs.• “We’re a rural area, so kids have little to do. ...According to the Portland-area Drug Enforcement Administration, with one afterschool activity, 70 percent of youth are less likely to get involved in illegal drugs or bad behavior. With two activities, that percentage increases to 90,” said Shirley Morgan, Village Police Athletic League president.• Fifty-five percent of Chicago high school students say there are no safe places to go after school. • Two out of three young people nationwide wish there were more places they could hang out where they could feel safe and have fun.• More than one-third of California teens said that there are not enough supervised after school activities in their areas that interest them. Of these, 77 percent said they would be likely to participate if interesting activities were available to them
- Over the course of 2012 our team (including our General Manager) met face to face with over 600 customers in 16 cities to understand and discuss the challenges they were faced with. These are the top 4 challenges that repeatedly came up. Community Engagement!! This seems to be The buzz word in our industry. Who can tell me what their definition is for Community Engagement? Community Engagement is simply a process of building ongoing relationships with the community for the purpose of applying a collective Vision.. .. And that Vision is a Healthy CommunityHealthy CommunityThe impacts of a healthy community as simple: an Active community is a Healthy community, and a Healthy Community is a productive and more economically viable communityBenefit for individuals: workers stay productive and healthy—both inside and outside the workplace.Benefit for businesses: a healthier workforce reduces long‐term healthcare costs, increases stability and productivity, and improves competitiveness. Benefit for communities: a community that offers a healthy, productive, stable workforce is a more attractive place for families to live and for businesses to locate.The 3rd point is around Fiscal ResponsibilityIn today’s economy… anywhere you look (private sector, public sector) organizations are looking to do more with less… the Public sector is no exception.. Finally, Relevance and ImpactThis is closely related to the Fiscal responsibilities. Now, more than ever, the stewards of our tax payer dollars are under the microscope to show the Return on their efforts. Questions such as how effective are the programs at our Rec Center? Or, are we increasing our reach in the community? Are we engaging more youth? How do they communicate the impact to their constituents?
- Pressure to become more Sustainable and Fiscally Responsible…. TheNational League of Cities conducted a survey with 350 small and large municipalities at the end of 2012. Key stats:48% reduced the size of their municipal workforce1 in 3 cancelled or delayed capital infrastructure projects1 in 4 cites froze employee wages Clearly there is a continued need to do more with less and be fiscally responsible.On the right hand side there is:A drive towards becoming a Healthier Community…According to the Sporting Goods Manufactures Association, 68.1M American’s are inactive – 24% increase from 2011!According to the American Heart and Stroke Association:1 out of 3 children are obese and overweightHealthcare costs associated with battling obesity was $46B in 2012If obesity rates continue to rise, the healthcare cost attributable to obesity could reach $900M by 2030 (18% of US Healthcare expenditures)So while there’s a challenge around fiscal responsibility and a drive towards healthier communities, at the same time, in recreation organizations, 57% of the activities provided for youth and adults are going unfilled – Excess Activity InventoryOf our Top 5 Customers, 57% of the inventory goes unsoldOf our Top 5 Customers, only 5% of the combined population are participating in a P&R programSo there’s an intersection point across these three challenges and it’s all revolved around participation. If we make increasing participation our key focus, that’s key to solving all these challenges.
- 1. Build an audienceThe top of the funnel is where you want to reach a lot of people in your community who could potentially become customers one day. You need eyes on your website, recreation guide, press releases, emails, direct mail campaigns, and social posts. If you can increase your audience, numbers will increase down the line.
- 2. Convert leadsNow we move to the middle of the funnel. This is where you want to turn impressions into listeners, or readers into leads. Simply put, can we get someone who reads a press release to become a Twitter follower? Can we turn a website visitor into an email subscriber? In order to convert someone to a lead, you need to offer relevant content and have strong calls to action.Remember that former customers can also become leads for upcoming programs. This part of the funnel is where you can use a customer’s email address and history to target them with email marketing campaigns.
- 3. Get customersLet’s stop to see where we are with the funnel. First, let’s say you generated an audience of 10,000 last month (website visitors + readers of a press release + people who received a direct mail piece, etc.). Second, you turned 500 of those into subscribers/leads (new social followers + email subscribers, etc.). Now it’s time to turn these people into customers and revenue. This part of the funnel is where your Facebook and Twitter posts, email campaigns, and offline marketing campaigns need to drive registrations.
- When email content is specifically relevant to the audience that receives it – you are more likely to achieve your purpose. If your purpose is to draw more dance registrations this summer, sending an email to past football registrants will likely keep you from achieving your goals.By providing people with content they’d be interested in, we are helping increase the likelihood of email opens (which can be helped by having a strong subject line – more on this later) and click throughs on our links It reduces the length of your overall emails… consecutive scrolling is said to be a big proponent of carpel tunnel? Do you really want to inflict that on your lovely customers?!By increasing relevancy – we reduce unsubscribes. Connect the right people, with the right content and you’ll be rewarded.
- Looking at list hygiene – lets set the following labels … broad lists… medium lists… detail lists… instructor/staff lists..Broad lists would be considered top level categories such as fitness or arts and crafts … or age groups such as children, youth, adult, Medium lists would be a combination of top level categories and age groups or individual program categories such as tae kwon do or zumbaDetailed lists would be sometihng like program category + age group – kids soccer or adult co-ed footballInstructors self explanitory
- Let’s take a look at some subject line examples here and I want you to be the judge… Raise your hand if you think the following subject lines are good.
- How can you inspire program registration if you can’t get someone to open your email and read the content? Your email subject line is a critical component because it is the first impression people will get of your emails and it could possibly be the last if you don’t play your cards right. Don’t trick people into opening your email – your content needs to be a brief summary as to what readers can expect. Which brings me to my next point of keeping things brief! Ideally you’d like to keep your total character count under 59 characters. According to hubspot, emails that had subject lines of 59 characters or less had an average of 42% more clicks than those that didn’t. Include CTA (call to action)Add quantifiable measures in subject line so readers know exactly what to expect3 events you can’t miss!5 new spring programs for your teenager.
- Avoid multicolumn formats as it complicates the email structure, creates more distractions and interrupts flow. There’s another reason that I will get into later in this presentation. A common mistake people make when taking on email marketing is that they try fitting in too much information. Looking back at the fundamentals we want to reduce the amount of information which can be done by focusing on one topic and a specific list. This means we need to keep our content short and sweet! When creating the content of your email, never lose sight of your topic and the email’s main purpose. The initial paragraph and top portion of your email is crucial real estate. This is the first thing people will see when they open your email or see it in the preview pane. If the content is vague, has very little text or is flat out uninteresting…people may not bother reading the rest of your email.
